  • Elite Politics and the Fourth Generation of Chinese Leadership
    Elite Politics and the Fourth Generation of Chinese Leadership ZHENG YONGNIAN & LYE LIANG FOOK* The personnel reshuffle at the 16th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party is widely regarded as the first smooth and peaceful transition of power in the Party’s history. Some China observers have even argued that China’s political succession has been institutionalized. While this paper recognizes that the Congress may provide the most obvious manifestation of the institutionalization of political succession, this does not necessarily mean that the informal nature of politics is no longer important. Instead, the paper contends that Chinese political succession continues to be dictated by the rule of man although institutionalization may have conditioned such a process. Jiang Zemin has succeeded in securing a legacy for himself with his “Three Represents” theory and in putting his own men in key positions of the Party and government. All these present challenges to Hu Jintao, Jiang’s successor. Although not new to politics, Hu would have to tread cautiously if he is to succeed in consolidating power. INTRODUCTION Although the 16th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress ended almost a year ago, the outcomes and implications of the Congress continue to grip the attention of China watchers, including government leaders and officials, academics and businessmen. One of the most significant outcomes of the Congress, convened in Beijing from November 8-14, 2002, was that it marked the first ever smooth and peaceful transition of power since the Party was formed more than 80 years ago.1 Neither Mao Zedong nor Deng Xiaoping, despite their impeccable revolutionary credentials, successfully transferred power to their chosen successors.

  • The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics
    Li, China Leadership Monitor No.4 The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics Cheng Li China’s ongoing political succession has been filled with paradoxes. Jockeying for power among various factions has been fervent and protracted, but the power struggle has not led to a systemic crisis as it did during the reigns of Mao and Deng. While nepotism and favoritism in elite recruitment have become prevalent, educational credentials and technical expertise are also essential. Regional representation has gained importance in the selection of Central Committee members, but leaders who come from coastal regions will likely dominate the new Politburo. Regulations such as term limits and an age requirement for retirement have been implemented at various levels of the Chinese leadership, but these rules and norms will perhaps not restrain the power of Jiang Zemin, the 76-year-old “new paramount leader.” While the military’s influence on political succession has declined during the past decade, the Central Military Commission is still very powerful. Not surprisingly, these paradoxical developments have led students of Chinese politics to reach contrasting assessments of the nature of this political succession, the competence of the new leadership, and the implications of these factors for China’s future. This diversity of views is particularly evident regarding the ubiquitous role of mishu in the Chinese leadership. The term mishu, which literally means “secretary” in Chinese, refers to a range of people who differ significantly from each other in terms of the functions they fulfill, the leadership bodies they serve, and the responsibilities given to them.

  • Verheißung Unbeschadeten Fortschritts Wird in Der Ideologie Der Kommu- UNIVERSITY PRESS Nistischen Partei Chinas (Kpch) Durchgängig Aufrechterhalten
    Die Verheißung unbeschadeten Fortschritts wird in der Ideologie der Kommu- UNIVERSITY PRESS nistischen Partei Chinas (KPCh) durchgängig aufrechterhalten. Ideologeme bringen die Überzeugung der KPCh zum Ausdruck, dass Entwicklung und Fortschritt unter ihrer Lenkung plan- und durchführbar sind, Entwicklungsziele somit erreichbar werden und zukünftiger Fortschritt generiert werden kann. Ideologeme werden als Legitimationsinstrumente eingesetzt, die sowohl eine konkrete Handlung oder Aufforderung beinhalten, wie Ziele erreicht werden können, als auch auf der Überzeugung basieren, dass der Entwicklungsweg der VR China sowie der angestrebte Fortschritt richtig sind. Sie wirken sinn- stiftend in den jeweiligen Kontext hinein und ermöglichen, dass auch über die Äußerungen der Partei hinaus deren ideologische Inhalte Kontinuität behalten. Herausforderungen wie die Realisierung planungsintensiver Großprojekte mit weitreichenden wirtschaftlichen, ökologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen, z.B. der Bau von Atomkraftwerken oder des Drei-Schluchten-Staudamms, und das Erfordernis einer Auseinandersetzung mit der Nuklearkatastrophe von Fukushima und Naturkatastrophen, wie dem Erdbeben von Wenchuan, bieten Anlass für ein Hinterfragen des von der KPCh propagierten Fortschrittsdenkens. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Fortschritts- und Entwicklungsideologeme in der KPCh seit dem Jahr 1949 sowie ihr Aufscheinen in den Fallbeispielen, Diskussion der Atomenergie in der VR China, des Wenchuan-Erdbebens und FAU Studien aus der Philosophischen Fakultät 12 des Drei-Schluchten-Staudamm-Projektes, untersucht.

  • Cities in China: Recipes for Economic Development in the Reform Era/ Edited by Jae Ho Chung
    Cities in China ‘well conceived, well structured…with a clearly delineated focus…the methodology is appropriate and ingenious…the articles are data-rich, absorbing, well-researched, and support the editor’s conclusions.’ Dorie Solinger, University of California, Irvine Until now, China’s eye-catching economic performance over the last two decades has only been examined from macro-national and provincial perspectives. However, since post-Mao China’s reform strategy has been predominantly regional in nature, further bringing down the level of analysis is a key to understanding China’s remarkable success. This book, for the first time, focuses on sub-provincial cities as territorially based entrepreneurial agents. More importantly, Cities in China provides the widest coverage in the field of contemporary China studies, by comparing the developmental recipes of fourteen cities in eight provinces. Developmental experiences of these cities are analysed using a frame work of three categories: the ‘given’ endowments of location and history; the administrative arrangements and target policies granted by central and provincial governments; local entrepreneurial leaders and locally generated strategies of reform and ‘opening’. Case studies cover: six ‘deputy provincial’ cities in five provinces (Dalian, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Chengdu); three ‘prefecture’ level cities (Wenzhou, Nantong, Fuzhou); three county level cities (Panyu, Nanhai, Zhangjiagang); and two provincial level cities (Tianjin, Chongqing). This volume, written by contributors from a number of different disciplines, suggests that different combinations of factors have contributed to the relative successes and failures in these cities. Endowment factors, preferential policies, and history have all proved to be important. Most importantly, Cities in China suggests that locally generated strategies of development are crucial determinants.

  • Hu Jintao: the Making of a Chinese General Secretary Richard Daniel
    Hu Jintao: The Making of a Chinese General Secretary Richard Daniel Ewing ABSTRACT Chinese Vice-President Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin’s heir apparent, has risen to the elite levels of Chinese politics through skill and a diverse network of political patrons. Hu’s political career spans four decades, and he has been associated with China’s top leaders, including Song Ping, Hu Yaobang, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin. Though marked early as a liberal by his ties to Hu Yaobang, Hu Jintao’s conservative credentials were fashioned during the imposition of martial law in Tibet in 1989. Those actions endeared him to the Beijing leadership following the 4 June Tiananmen Square crackdown, and his career accelerated in the 1990s. Young, cautious and talented, Hu catapulted to the Politburo Standing Committee, the vice-presidency and the Central Military Commission. Despite recent media attention, Hu’s positions on economic and foreign policy issues remain poorly defined. As the 16th Party Congress approaches, Hu is likely to be preparing to become General Secretary of the Communist Party and a force in world affairs. The late 1990s witnessed the extraordinary rise of Vice-President Hu Jintao from obscurity to pre-eminence as one of China’s most powerful politicians and President Jiang Zemin’s heir apparent. If Hu succeeds Jiang, he will lead China’s 1.3 billion people into a new era. Over the next decade, he would manage China’s emergence as a global power – a leading country with one of the world’s largest economies, nuclear weapons and a seat on the United Nations Security Council.

  • The First “Non-Government” Visiting Scholars Delegate in United States
    English translation of Chinese article published in Science & Culture Review (Beijing), Vol. 7, No. 2 (2010) pp. 84-94 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ The First “Non-Government” Visiting-Scholar Delegation in the United States of America from People’s Republic of China, 1979-1981 Lui Lam Department of Physics, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA 95192-0106, USA In February, 1979, a delegation of eight scientists from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, arrived in Evanston, and became the first group of “non-government” visiting scholars ever set foot in the USA since 1949. This group consists of Qian Yongjia (钱永嘉), LI Tiecheng (李铁成), ZHENG Jiaqi (郑家祺), SHEN Juelian (沈觉涟), WANG Dingsheng (王鼎盛), CHENG Bingying (程丙英), GU Shijie (顾世杰) and LIN Lei (林磊, Lui LAM). Lin stayed for three months while the rest of the group stayed for two years. The work by Lin at Northwestern University was later published in Physical Review Letters, the most prestige physics journal in the world, and became the first paper ever published in this journal by an author from China. Here, the background of the domestic situation in China and the international relationship between China and USA leading to the visit are summarized. The formation of this delegation of visiting scholars is described, followed by the 1979 visit itself. Lastly, the influence of the visit on the careers of the delegates afterwards and on the Chinese reform-opening up movement in general is given. Key words: Institute of Physics, Reform-Opening Up Movement, visiting scholars in USA, Baodiao Movement, Haigui, Physical Review Letters I.

  • The CCP Central Committee's Leading Small Groups Alice Miller
    Miller, China Leadership Monitor, No. 26 The CCP Central Committee’s Leading Small Groups Alice Miller For several decades, the Chinese leadership has used informal bodies called “leading small groups” to advise the Party Politburo on policy and to coordinate implementation of policy decisions made by the Politburo and supervised by the Secretariat. Because these groups deal with sensitive leadership processes, PRC media refer to them very rarely, and almost never publicize lists of their members on a current basis. Even the limited accessible view of these groups and their evolution, however, offers insight into the structure of power and working relationships of the top Party leadership under Hu Jintao. A listing of the Central Committee “leading groups” (lingdao xiaozu 领导小组), or just “small groups” (xiaozu 小组), that are directly subordinate to the Party Secretariat and report to the Politburo and its Standing Committee and their members is appended to this article. First created in 1958, these groups are never incorporated into publicly available charts or explanations of Party institutions on a current basis. PRC media occasionally refer to them in the course of reporting on leadership policy processes, and they sometimes mention a leader’s membership in one of them. The only instance in the entire post-Mao era in which PRC media listed the current members of any of these groups was on 2003, when the PRC-controlled Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po publicized a membership list of the Central Committee Taiwan Work Leading Small Group. (Wen Wei Po, 26 December 2003) This has meant that even basic insight into these groups’ current roles and their membership requires painstaking compilation of the occasional references to them in PRC media.

Fazit: Administrative Reformen als Stückwerk 1 1. Einleitung Im November 2002 wird die Kommunistische Partei Chinas eine Ära des Übergangs in der chinesischen Politik zu einem vorläufigen Abschluss bringen. Unabhängig davon, wie weit sich die Führungsspitze um den Generalsekretär der KPC und Staatspräsiden- ten Jiang Zemin, Premierminister Zhu Rongji und den Vorsitzenden des Nationalen Volkskongresses Li Peng aus der tatsächlichen Entscheidungsfindung zurückziehen wird, lässt sich das Ende einer Phase der chinesischen Politik konstatieren, in der wich- tige neue Reformschritte eingeleitet und umgesetzt wurden. Ein zentrales Vorhaben der 1990er Jahre war die Suche nach einer Modernisierung des Staats- und Parteiapparates, die die Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Fortführung der wirtschaftlichen und gesell- schaftlichen Modernisierung sowie für eine erfolgreiche Integration der VR China in die Weltwirtschaftsordnung bilden sollte.
